Tree of Life

In my new garden
there’s a yellow wall,
it’s high enough to keep the dogs out
yet low enough to share the lemon tree.
Sweet scents
Bright fruit
Mediterranean dreams

In my new home
there’s a bright blue door,
it’s thick enough to keep in the music
yet open enough to share the morning sun.
Yellow rays
Warm breaths
Welcoming friends

In my new year
there’s a green young tree,
it’s strong enough to endure winter’s frost
yet supple enough to take life’s knocks.
Unknown neighbours
New memories
Risking our loves
